old friend

Lyrics

you know hard time is just an old friend, just an old friend to me, i say hard time is just an old friend, just an old friend to me, tell me now, old friend, when you gonna let me be?, can't you feel a cold wind howlin' down, blowin' my song, can't you feel a cold wind howlin' down, blowin' my song, well, i ain't an old man, but you know my time ain't long, gonna be a hard rain - you can hear it in the distance, sounds so near, gonna be a hard rain - you can hear it in the distance, sounds so near, people, when the rain comes, it's gonna wash us all away from here, mean old woman, people won't you tell me where can she be, mean old woman, people won't you tell me where can she be, she's the only woman that ever meant a damn to me, you know hard time is just an old friend, just an old friend to me, i say hard time is just an old friend, just an old friend to me, tell me now, old friend, when you gonna let me be?, tell me now, old friend, when you gonna let me be?, tell me now, old friend, when you gonna let this poor man be?
